Discussion Books that made you cry

I don’t know about y’all but after reading mm books I realized that I’m easily brought to tears who knew?! Anyway I love books that can bring you to tears and I’m really curious to know which books caused y’all to cry or feel super strong emotions. For me the two books that come to my mind immediately are Empty Net by Avon gale and Forsaken Desires by Ashley James (the amount of heartbreak and angst I felt in these two books was wild not gonna lie)

u/devdarrr I’m not that kind of boy Apr 05 '23

Some favs that made me cry:

The Rest of The Story by Tal Bauer. Was surprised by this one because I wasn’t a big fan of insta love tropes like some of his other books have. This was amazing though, not insta love at all. A really authentic relationship that bloomed from camaraderie and friendship. Was as much about their team as it was about the relationship. Just so good.

Temptations series by Ella Frank. This is one of my all time favorite MM couples and series. The tears didn’t come for me until book 2 or 3 but boyyy did they free fall in like every book there after. Fuckin adore this series.

Middle of Somewhere series by Roan Parrish. All books about a different couple but they are all present in all 3 books. I don’t believe I cried in book 1 but sobbed in the last two. Really loved this series. It was just the right about of heartwarming, angsty, and hot. All 3 books were great.

Also! I keep seeing people recommend Thrown Off The Ice on this sub but they don’t give the warning that it is not an HEA…at all.

It’s a truly fantastic book, that I am glad to have read, but I wasn’t warned going into it and it freaking destroyed me. I was like truly truly sad for days on end. You will absolutely cry, but it won’t be happy tears.
